2002 / 3. szám - RÉSUMÉ - Deák András Miklós: The First Lessons of Devolution in the United Kingdom - Lévai Imre: Clash of Capitalisms and remaking of World order?
Résumé capitalist centres, on the one hand, and symbiosis of national capital invested in commercial and extractive branches of the economy, charging commission and rent, respectively, with traditional pre-capitalist modes of production, on the other, identify the semi-peripheral Arab pattern of capital accumulation. This is why the Arab region, susceptible to traditionalism manifested in Islamism, confronts generally the modernising Western world and particularly its vanguard, the Anglo-Saxon region with the champion of global expansion of capital, the United States of America, in the forefront. It is in this context that Israel appears, depending on the special point of view, as the "outpost" or the "Trojan horse" of Westernising-Americanising liberal pattern of Anglo-Saxon capitalism. The possibility of an immediate military clash of the Arab and the Anglo-Saxon capitalisms may obviously arise from a radical change in world power relations, in general, and from that of the internal and external conditions and capacities of wielding power and influence by the United States, in particular. 228 Külügyi Szemle
